Please keep all of these intentions in your daily prayers: For our Pastor’s Intentions: * Let us pray in reparation for the sins committed by Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and Deacons against the Lord’s commandments, as well as for healing for the victims of sin. * For the Holy Spirit to fall fresh upon our parishioners and for the constant renewal of our parish. * That the Holy Spirit may give us the gift of worship and more people discover the gift of music and join our choirs. * For all the young people travelling to WYD in Panama from around the world, especially the group that is going from Blessed Trinity. For our Parish Intentions: * For our school families, faculty & staff * For our BT family community For the Pope’s Intentions: Evangelization – In the Service of the Transmission of Faith That people, who are involved in the service and transmission of faith, may find, in their dialogue with culture, a language suited to the conditions of the present time. For the sick and elderly of the Parish. Especially Baby Zak, Ofelia Rodriguez, Jim Caudle and Dolores Otero.
The Offertory Collection is used for the day-to-day operation of the parish and its programs. You may set up a one-time or recurring donation to our parish. Go to website : https://blessed-trinity.weshareonline.org/

If you have left Blessed Trinity in your will, please let us know so we can add you to our
Legacy of Love Circle!
Dear Parish Family, Often parishioners, alumni, related family members and guests will ask if there is anything they could contribute towards beyond their regular financial contributions. As well, many people will ask if there is something they could purchase in memory of a loved one who has died or to honor a special occasion in their lives. In response to these requests we have established, The Blessed Trinity Christmas Wish List. If you are interested in helping to support a specific project on the wish list, please feel free to drop off your contribution or call the parish office if you have any questions. Very grateful! Querida familia parroquial, A menudo, los feligreses, los exalumnos, los familiares y los invitados preguntan si hay algo en que puedan aportar por encima de sus contribuciones financieras regulares. Otras personas se preguntan si hay algo que puedan comprar en memoria de un ser querido que ha muerto o para honrar una ocasión especial en sus vidas. En respuesta a estas peticiones, hemos establecido La Lista de Deseos Navideños de Blessed Trinity. Si usted está interesado en ayudar a apoyar un proyecto específico en la lista de deseos, por favor siéntase libre de dejar su contribución o llamar a la oficina de la parroquia si usted tiene alguna pregunta. Muy agradecidos! Blessed Trinity Christmas Wish List

In the last few years, the attendance at the midnight Mass has been very poor. However, the Children's Vigil Mass has been overwhelmingly crowded. In an effort to even out the attendance at the Children's Mass, this year we are experimenting having an early 4pm bilingual Christmas Mass to allow the cooks to get back home on time to prepare for "nochebuena."
En los últimos años la asistencia a la misa de medianoche ha sido muy baja. Sin embargo, la misa de vigilia de niños ha tenido muchísimos feligreses. Este año estamos experimentado tener una misa bilingüe a las 4 pm para nivelar el nivel de asistencia de la misa de vigilia y para permitirle a los que cocinan que regresen a casa a tiempo para preparar la cena de nochebuena.
